Memorial Day HERE
IN MEXICO
Here in Chapala, Mexico there are a lot
of veterans and they have an American Legion Club. So why not celebrate the day with all the
Americans that fought for our freedom in honor of the good old USA.
Although, Dan and I were not in the
military, our friend invited us to the American Legion. I was honored to celebrate a day that is
flagged on our calendars and to remember the soldiers that fought and died to
protect freedom.
Most of you all do not realize that
there are several thousand vets living abroad, especially here in Mexico. I have met some that were in different wars
and have paid a tremendous cost. We tend
to forget the chemicals that they had to endure, which is an everlasting effect
on their lives, such as Agent Orange.
Celebrating with fabulous food and
entertainment our appetite was compromised for there was no organic foods. To tell a secret we cheated and had roast pig
and baked beans with corn on the cob.
It’s what you would call an all American meal.
As we go forward, let’s take a moment
and if you see someone on the street needing help that went to war remember
that they endured the sacrifice to protect our nation.
Enjoy the pictures and mini movie.
